It’s your time now. Time to grow. Time to get everything you’ve ever wanted from your business.
But, you first need to identify what’s holding you back. And, get past it!
Here are 5 possible barriers to your business growth:
1. Lack of Strategy or The Wrong Strategy
It’s vital that you have the right growth strategy in place. That strategy includes your overriding plans, goals, sales targets, and long-term objectives.
Example: If you’re building a business to sell, you may have an entirely different strategy for growth than a business owner who’s planning to build for the long term and pass the company along to his heirs.
2. Lack of Action
Far too many entrepreneurs are, “Getting ready to get ready!” They never do anything. Never get off the launching pad.
Many different reasons keep business owners from taking action. They can include: Fear, lack of knowledge, perfectionism, and other “barriers.”
The end result is the same. The entrepreneur fails to get started, and therefore never reaches her goals.
Take action today. Do something. Move forward at least one step.
3. Lack of Scalability
If you build a business without scalable systems in place, you’ll ultimately hit a wall. Growth will stagnate. Sales will stall.
You’ll wonder why you can’t get any larger. Why your sales don’t continue to grow.
You need to create a business model that includes the proper systems in place that can grow with you. That way you can be just as effective at $1 Million in sales as you were at $100K. And, at $10 million as you were at $1 million.
4. Lack of a clearly defined market
Ask 100 entrepreneurs who their product is for and count how many times you get, “Everybody needs what I sell!” It’s sad but true.
Fact is, you can’t market to “everyone.” And shouldn’t for that matter.
It’s more than money. It’s the fact that your marketing message can’t possibly hit the hot buttons, wants, needs, desires or motives of EVERYONE.
5. Lack of follow-through
OK, I’ll admit it. My entrepreneurial mind jumps from one topic to another faster than bees between flowers.
Yours probably does too. We have to deal with that.
That means finding the discipline to “stick to it” and follow through on your goals, objectives, plans, strategies and tactics. In other words, “get it done!”

I was SHOCKED by this video…
Especially since it was about me!
Not shocked by “what” he says — but that he took time to put it up in the first place.
Without me asking.
Personally, if I had not been on the phone with Daniel, I would think he’s “overdoing it” just a bit.
But, he’s not … it was really a big deal:
COMMENT HERE on the blog after you’ve watched it.
And, if you’d like a FREE (for a limited time) Initial Consult with me, click here!
It’s time for you to get some FREE consulting from me, “Mr. Monetizer” … JP Maroney.
Here are the details:
We’re starting a cool new segment on the Mr. Monetizer Show — now podcast in iTunes and at http://www.MrMonetizer.com
Each show, I’m taking one “idea” submission from a listener and giving it the full “Mr. Monetizer treatment.”
That means I’m going to examine it, rip it apart, put it on the virtual hotseat, and then look at how that idea can be FULLY monetized.
This all happens LIVE on the show.
It could be…
>>> A product you’re trying to launch
>>> A business
>>> A book
>>> A new service
>>> A website
>>> A chain of stores
>>> Expertise that you’ve accumulated over the years — but can’t figure out how to turn it into money
Anything you want to submit is fair game for the “Monetize Me” segment.
Here’s what you do:
1. Go to http://www.MrMonetizer.com
2. Listen to the most recent show (#2) so you understand the show
3. Follow the instructions for submission on the “Monetize Me” page at:
==>>> http://mrmonetizer.com/show/?page_id=6
Then, listen to upcoming episodes of the Mr. Monetizer Show to see if I feature YOUR submission for the “Monetize Me!” segment.
Check it out … this is a deal you don’t want to pass up.
Now, go monetize it!

It’s Monday…
And, I’m in serious pain today!
Why?
Because I got beaten up this weekend.
Here’s the story:
Last Friday, I released my very first “Mr. Monetizer Show” podcast.
iTunes gave me the green light. And, I was on cloud 9.
Then, the beating began…
The first person to “break it to me” was Tonya, my wife.
I gotta tell you — what she said to me hurt deeply (mostly my ego). Mainly because I trust her insight, intuition, and opinion without reserve.
She basically said, “It was a bad idea to make that your first podcast. All you did was commercial after commercial after commercial. There wasn’t any value.”
>>>>> Ouch!!! <<<<<
She added, “Don’t promote that podcast … whatever you do.”
Too late!
I had already released it to you and the other members of my list on Friday.
Suddenly, I found myself hoping that nobody checked their emails on Friday.
That those who DID check their email DID NOT open my email about the podcast.
And, that those who opened my email were too busy to go listen to it.
>>>>> Wishful thinking! <<<<<
If Tonya’s words of truth weren’t painful enough, Sunday I received the following “comment” on my Mr. Monetizer site.
“JP, I have to say, this was a very poor first podcast of yours. I like your other products but this podcast was nothing but a sales pitch for stuff with absolutely no content at all. If people judge whether they should listen to future podcasts based on this one you will be hurting. You need content, give people a reason to listen. Good luck.”
You can see why I’m feeling battered and bruised today, eh?
So, here’s the deal…
They were right!
I blew it.
It hurts to admit it. And, it hurts even worse to hear it from others.
But, it’s true.
And, I’m going to make it up to you.
Sunday I went “back into the studio” and recorded Episode #2 of the Mr. Monetizer Show podcast.
I planned it with greater care and purpose than Episode #1.
I packed in content. And, value.
I also announced an exciting new listener-focused segment for the show. (more on that later)
All in all, I think it’s good.
Far from perfect — because I hope to continue getting better and better and better over time.
But, I’m pleased to bring it to you.
Give it a listen. And, let me know what you think! (Be gentle )
==>> http://www.MrMonetizer.com
Disclaimer:
Will I promote products and services for sale on future shows?
Of course I will. I have a business to run.
But, I promise to give you an enjoyable, balanced blend of valuable, immediately useable content along with any promotion.
Fair enough?
OK — give it a listen…
Now, go Monetize It!
You’ll like this…
We just received confirmation this morning that Apple iTunes is adding my Mr. Monetizer Show to the iTunes podcast line-up.
>>> Exciting!
You can subscribe to the podcast in iTunes and listen to it on your iPod or computer.
Or…
You can go directly to the podcast website here…
==>> http://www.MrMonetizer.com/show
I look forward to giving you some terrific training, tips, updates, and strategies in the Mr. Monetizer Show podcast.
Let me know what you think…
Go for it!

Let me be very clear about something … I LOVE Apple!
Including my iphone and ipod.
I think they’re a fabulous company with an exciting, Maverick leader in Steve Jobs.
But, another 300 lb gorilla just lumbered into Apple’s orchard.
Amazon.com is offering (as they put it) MP3 downloads for Any Media Player. And, now they have 3 of the BIG labels on their side.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/browse.html?node=163856011
You know what a big, big believer I am in Joint Ventures, strategic alliances, and endorsement marketing. You’ve heard Jay Abraham talk about it host-beneficiary, or host-parasite relationships. You’ve heard Dan Kennedy talk about it.
Now it’s time to DO IT!
Watch this video… then go here: http://www.jprecommends.com/jva
I’ll bet you can finish this one…
>>> If it looks like a _ _ _ _.
>>> Waddles like a _ _ _ _.
>>> And, quacks like a _ _ _ _.
>>> Then, it’s probably a _ _ _ _.
(Ya, you got it … a duck)
Now, what does that have to do with business?
Plenty…
Here’s the deal.
Far too many entrepreneurs are hanging out with their industry peers. As a result, they’re starting to look alike, sound alike, sell alike, market alike, and otherwise run their businesses alike.
I’m labeling them “The Quack Pack!”
Listen … that’s the last thing you want to happen to you.
So what to do?
First, don’t spend ALL your time with your industry peers. Don’t get all your ideas from them. Don’t follow blindly like sheep.
I’ll be the first to tell you that there are some proven principles, ideas and methods for building a business — or marketing a business. In fact, I just blogged about “Mastering The Mundane” a couple of days ago.
However, if you’re going to build a truly extraordinary enterprise, then you need to look well beyond what everyone else “like you” is doing, and get some fresh perspective that can help you stand out from your competition.
This is EXACTLY the kind of activities that we’ll be facilitating in “The Brain Trust,” which officially launches late January / early February.
There, you’ll get a chance to interact with, mastermind with, rub shoulders with, innovators and BIG thinkers from across dozens and hundreds of different industries.
You’ll exchange ideas. Brainstorm. And, explode your business concept.
You’ll take your business to an entirely different level. Into the realm of power-players. Disruptive marketers … industry leaders.
This is going to be fun!
Be sure you have your name on the Brain Trust Update List. Register for FREE now, at: http://www.braintrust365.com
Looking forward to having you join me in “The Brain Trust!”
Warmly, JP

OK, listen up…
Tonight, I’m conducting Part Two of “How to Turn Your Business Into a Referral Money Machine!”
I’d love to have you attend.
Here’s the catch…
If you watched the program unfold back before we took a break for the holiday, you know that:
a) I offered an opportunity to attend/listen to Part One without paying a dime. FREE!!!
b) During the Part One training, I offered a chance to purchase the whole program, including Parts 2, 3, 4 (where I’m teaching more than 50 specific, actionable strategies and tactics for getting referrals) for only $67 (even though this program has the value of a $2000 to $3000 Referral Marketing Coaching Program)
c) I didn’t put up a sales page explaining the program (Basically you had to listen to Part One and decide for yourself if you thought it was worth paying to get the balance of the training) My plans had been to wait until the training was completely over before sitting down to write a sales letter.
A lot of people purchased the training. After all, $67 to get better at getting customer referrals and turn on a flood of new customers or clients is a pretty easy decision. Right?
But, there were others who emailed me saying they wanted more information about “what’s included” before they could make a decision.
So, I’m going to give a basic explanation of “what it is” and “what you get” so you can decide for yourself.
If you act FAST … you can attend tonight’s Part Two training session.
1. Why referrals are so beneficial
I hope you know this already, but referrals can literally multiply your sales overnight. And, with very little up front expense.
In Part One of the training (which you’ll get immediate access to) I detail how I helped a client generate 4,100 brand new clients from a $90 referral marketing strategy.
Totally outside the box. Totally, non-traditional!
When Entrepreneur wrote a story about my promotion, they called it “Wildly Generous!” You’re going to love it.
If you’ll just start using 1-2-3 of the referral marketing strategies I teach, you can turn on the tap for brand new business almost immediately.
And, once you start using these methods to generate a constant flow of referrals, you’ll never again want to build your business without “referral marketing” as a key component of your marketing plan.
2. Why you need this training
You need to attend this training if…
Have you ever said, “I would love to get more referrals but…
If ANY of those phrases “FIT YOU” — then you need to attend this training.
3. What you will learn in this training
You will learn…
4. What you get with this training
5. Is it GUARANTEED?
Short Answer: Yes!!! You have a 90-day, unconditional money back guarantee (I won’t say “No Questions Asked” … because if you’re returning the program, I want to know why so we can FIX it)
Longer Answer: Look, this is a $67 program that already has the built-in value of a $2000 to $3000 “Referral Marketing Coaching Program.” You’re getting at least 4 fully recorded and transcribed calls. Actionable strategies. Specific tactical plans. If you can’t generate at least 10 times your investment in the program, by actually DOING what I teach … then you bet … I’ll return your money. That means, I’m expecting you to actually do something with what you learn … and I’m expecting you to generate $670, $2000, $5000, $10,000 ore more with this program. The value is there … the knowledge is there … you just need to take action. I’m proud to have you involved in this training, and look forward to hearing of your positive results.
OK, I hope I’ve answered all your questions!
If not — please contact me through my contact page at http://www.replytojp.com
I’ll do my best to answer your questions, add those questions and answers to this post, and get you on track to start generating a flood of fresh, new client referrals into your business.
HOW TO SIGN UP FOR THE TRAINING
WARNING! The $67 price is a VERY LOW, advance pre-publication pricing. I will be raising the price when we formally release this training program in home study format. So, you can wait — but you WILL NOT get it for $67.

PS: Darn it! I wasn’t going to write a sales letter for this program - YET! (grin) But thanks for forcing me to put these details down on paper …. er, screen. You know what — as I wrote this I got even more excited about it. I was thinking, “Man, I’d love to attend training like that.” I hope you feel the same way.
